Benchmarking Regional Health Management II (BenRHMII) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Illus. 9: Type of register for vaccinated persons 70 kind of register "Register" for vaccinated persons (local, regional, national) (n = 18) no register local regional national regional + local regional + national regional + local + national PT RU HU-S, UK 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 - 244 - CH, EL, NRW LT, CZ HU-G, IE, IT-E, IT-S, IT-V AT, BE, BG, DE-ST number of regions The project thus shows that most regions keep vaccination registers at the local level. It is quite interesting that in each Italian region these registers have been implemented at the local level. The project moreover reveals that the most extensive documentation is being held by Moravia-Silesia (CZ) and Kaunas (LT) since these regions capture vaccinated persons at the local, regional and national level. Apart from Upper-Austria (AT), all regions interviewed keep a register on severe adverse reactions. 71 In Upper-Austria, this type of information is collected by the health authorities. 6.1.1.6 Target groups for the first and second measles vaccination The World Health Organisation recommends the first measles vaccination be given to chil- dren at the age of 12 months. In the regions interviewed, we discovered that the age at which children are vaccinated against measles for the first time varies considerably. 70 Missing information: Västra Götaland (SE). 71 Missing information: Västra Götaland (SE).
